Tell us something we don’t know.

Higgins? It’s kind of like a movie that leaves you hanging, you can end it how you like.

 

[SouthernSky]

Can somebody tell me this?... was Higgins really Robin Masters?

In the last episode he tells Magnum he is, then changes his story at the end.

One of life’s eternal mysteries.

Jonathan Hillerman played Higgins. I wired house in florida that the builder was making a commercial about. He was to be the narrator for the commercial. All us extras were introduced to him . Very arrogant man he was.

The future of commercial large-scale agriculture?
Kiss the romance goodbye.

That is about the stupidest video I have ever seen. Who is going to tell the Dakotas, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma that they are not suitable for growing crops?

Yup, That is just plane stupid. Maybe chicom AI.

Although, without ground water irrigation, Most all of "the grain belt" is a tough region to make it in agriculture.

I'm "Dakota Raised", BTDT!

The planes region became our breadbasket not because it had better land or environment, in fact quite the opposite, but because the cost of land was between "free" and "cheap", by comparison to better growing environments "back east". We've succeeded in building cities over much of our most profitable growing land.

Wut?

We have large areas in the eastern half of the state (ND) that have excellent soil for growing crops. Same soil content goes into western MN. There are some *very* large scale farming operations in ND + MN. Would rival about any region of the world you could mention.

For sure, there are, I wasn't trying to imply that every part of every one of these states is less ideal. Of course there is local variability. But speaking in broader generalities, many of the planes states which were first populated for farming in the 1930's, are inferior growing locations compared to the places those people left behind back east. The migration happened for reasons tied to land cost and government assistance, and not because it was better land or climate.

That reminds me of the time I worked with other contractors on one of John McCain's houses in Scottsdale, AZ. That guy was a complete (insert your favorite NEGATIVE adjective here). Just a complete horse's backside. Hated us all for being there, and couldn't get us to leave fast enough. We had to park around back, MUST use the service entrance, not allowed anywhere in the main house without an escort/reason (I needed to multiple times for tech/data/sound + entertainment system work in multiple parts of the house) and it was just a high drama shizzle show each and every time I had to work in any room in the house. No matter how many times I explained why I needed in "that room" (whichever room it was) and what I was going to do in there, it was a ranting tirade each time. And he was just pissed the whole time we were there, swearing at us and yelling, etc.

Can't tell you how close I came to telling him to go 'F' himself to his face. Any other "customer" and we'd have packed up and left. But because he was this big shot senator (hadn't run against Obummer yet), we had to "take it". It was so bad, my boss had to show up to keep us on site, we were all going to just pack up and go, and to h*ll with his house and if anything worked or not.

I think the company "agreed" (lol) to not do any future work there unless the senator was away in DC or traveling.

I wanted so badly to tell him that "Goldwater was right about you." (Senior AZ Senator Goldwater greatly disliked the man - and it was mutual).

Lol.
